Thoughts on DAC option
I would look into isolation for components, and adding super tweeters, that got rid of any harshness left in my system... Also power conditioning, I use equitech and that also wiped out any harshness remnants  My DAC is a Schitt Yggdrasil OG with... 
Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down
Jay is freaking awesome , no one has content like him, his access and ability to review and showcase some of the most expensive and badass gear that most of us can only dream of owning is unparalleled... I don’t give a crap  if he is flipping or h... 
Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert!
Amazing venue, must have been special... I saw Phish at the Sphere in Vegas last year and it was definitely the best sound I've ever heard in a large venue by far... Behind the world's largest display they have  167k individually amplified driver... 
Just got a new power amp
I've always preferred single ended over XLR.. I think it sounds smoother, more detailed, more analog and has better contact rather than the little pins on XLR... XLR really is for broadcast studios, military, commercial systems for noise rejectio... 
Power Supply Upgrade for Bluesound Nano
I installed a IFI power supply on my Roku and it made the picture much cleaner, less noise, colors looked brighter and more vivid... A worthwhile $80 I think it was, I already have the whole system plugged into a Equitech Son of Q balanced power ... 
Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables
Anti Cables, I swear by them, amazing clarity and bass... Currently running the new Flex 4.2 , one of the best bargains in HiFi, blew away much more expensive cables I had before like Audience ...  I use Acoustic Zen for everything else, they mak... 
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?
There you go with your half truths @mdalton , GDP "grew" 13.7% because the country was shut down thanks to a virus from china, like how they kept telling us biden "created" millions of jobs when it was just millions of people who were forced to st... 
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?
2017-2021 we had a strong economy and strong markets .. 2021-2025 we had a bad economy and strong stock market... Thanks to war, war is great for the markets, banks, big firms and 1%, not so good for the struggling peasants   
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?
@mdalton In 2022 the dow Jones crashed to 28k, in November 24 it skyrocketed to 44k after Trump won, now it’s a 39k today... Point is, it always rebounds, and these tariffs are onshoring trillions in new USA manufacturing and construction... Nvid... 
Upgrade ....streamer or amp?
You were gonna cash out your IRA to buy a streamer?? That’s sounds like the worst financial decision of all time... The stocks have not even dropped to the level they were after Trump won the election... Remember after he won the stock market expl... 
Im going to regret my cable question
I recommend Anti-Cables, they are amazing and affordable. I used to have Audience AU24, Wireworld Equinox, even Acoustic Zen and then I tried the Anti Cables and they blew the rest away, way more open transparent, crystal clear, details that I nev... 
Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with?
Personally I have not gone fully active, but I love the idea of a clean simple system... Two speakers, a streamer, a power conditioner, 4 power cords and one or two interconnects.. Back in the day I used to install a lot of Genelec speakers which...

Just buy every Bill Evans album and buy everything Oscar Peterson ...   
Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it?
I use a Italian Lector ZOE preamp, with a CI audio class D amp with excellent results. The ZOE got a major major upgrade when I installed NOS brimar tubes, totally transformed it, the ciaudio is stock except for a excellent Synergistic Research fu... 
what is more popular silver or black face plates
Has to be black... Black is pure class, doesn't stick out at night when I do most of my listening... Silver is a eyesore, and it looks cheap and unfinished IMO
